As long as a person is alive he or she has a need for material things and to say otherwise is unintelligent. One needs to eat to live and also has a need for a roof over his or her head. If people have offspring then there are more needs.

So he living entity ( either in its conditioned or liberated state BTW), due to their need, is always in a state of dependence.

That says nothing about ownership.

I have what "it" takes.

mortality?
limited senses?
eternal values superimposed on an ephemeral world?

I'll explain this way. "IT" takes control and either one control's "it" or "it" is going to control whomever.

actually the only thing one (has a hope to, anyway) can control is one's self .... something that is in-congruent with a sense of proprietorship born of work

I give up on you realizing you have no knowledge concerning the matter.

whatever the case, bold affirmations about how I own what I work for are certainly a step in the wrong direction .....
